THE OLD TERMINAL IN YEREVAN ZVARTNOTS AIRPORT
As from June 2002, under a 30-year-long concession contract signed
between the Armenian Government and Argentine "Corporacion America",
Zvartnots International Airport has been handed over to "Armenia"
International Airports" Closed Joint Stock Company.
>From the beginning our main goal and responsibility has been the
security and safety of passengers and flights. In accordance with
those principles, in 2004 the Armenian government approved our new
Master Plan by which a fresh new terminal was to be constructed,
complying with anti-seismic technology, with intelligent heat-light
control systems, and state of the art devices for passengers' safety.
The new premises were built close to the old building, laid-out in
1982, no longer in use and without appropriate anti-seismic design
and regulatory safety lay-out as currently required.
In 2007 we launched the first terminal; in 2011 the whole new airport
was inaugurated. Strategically located at the crossroads of Europe
and Asia, Zvartnots International Airport has become a regional hub
with capacity to handle over 3 million passengers per year. "Armenia"
International Airports" Closed Joint Stock Company has built a new
departures and arrivals terminal (sterile area) of over 19,000 sqm,
commercial premises, VIP lounges, and remote boarding positions.
As regards the old terminal, it actually presents a very dangerous
structure. "Armenia" International Airports will not allocate resources
for maintaining an obsolete building and will also not bear any
responsibility in case of any accident. We are willing and ready to
continue with the modernization of Zvartnots International Airport
but will not spend resources and time in maintaining a hazardous and
fallen into disuse building that does not fit with modern aeronautical
standards.
